Macart to share with you the "characteristics of straddle carrier" :
1, flexibility
The walking mechanism of the straddle carrier is wheeled, its walking track is not limited by the preset track, and it can shuttle flexibly in the working area like a car. This high mobility allows the straddle carrier to adapt to a variety of complex operating environments.
2, Efficient handling
The straddle carrier is able to grab, transport and stack containers on its own, without relying on other handling equipment, which greatly improves operational efficiency. It can usually stack multiple layers of containers, making efficient use of yard space.
3, complete functions
The straddle carrier complete the entire container handling process independently, from extraction to transportation to stacking, without the assistance of other equipment. This reduces the total investment cost of handling equipment and improves the overall efficiency of the operation.
4, versatility
In addition to handling standard containers, straddle carrier can also handle special containers such as storage tanks, reefers, open top boxes and platform boxes. They can be used for loading and unloading trains, trucks, ships and container transfers in storage yards.
5, Strong carrying capacity
straddle carrier are usually designed to withstand heavy loads, with carrying capacity generally between 35 and 90 tons, meeting the handling needs of most containers.
6,Stability and security
The straddle carrier is designed with a focus on stability, especially in high stacking operations, to ensure that containers do not tip over or slip. At the same time, it is also equipped with a variety of safety systems, such as anti-collision system, overload protection and safety alarm system, to ensure safe operation.
7. High degree of automation
Modern straddle carrier are often equipped with automated and remote control systems that enable semi-automatic or fully automatic operation, further improving efficiency and safety.
In summary, the straddle carrier has become an indispensable equipment in ports, docks, storage yards, storage cabinet production workshops and other places with its characteristics of flexibility, efficient loading and unloading, strong autonomy, versatility, strong carrying capacity, stability and safety, and high degree of automation. However, it should be noted that the straddle carrier also has the disadvantage of higher single cost, but its efficiency and versatility can often make up for this deficiency.
